thought I'd wait to see replies on this, but may as well bump to the top.
As lux said, Stratford is a definite no.
also being a hoon noob, im not sure how much driving people would want to do.
I suggested Warwick to lux, its about a 25 minute drive tops, local people will know it has a very nice park with lots of parking spaces and somewhere to get a coffee, but local people know that if its a nice day, it will get busy fairly early (and im not sure id want to be in the park if its not a nice day)
we're not really in a mountainous area, so im pretty sure scenery isn't going to be a strong point.
does anyone else have suggestions on possible 2nd destinations (thats if anyone wants a second destination)
